It seems like rappers Drake and Future have gone from friends to enemies, then back to friends again.
According to hip hop journalist Elliott Wilson, Drake and Future, 40, mended fences over the phone after their bitter hip hop feud.
“I have it on good authority that at least Drake and Future spoke on the phone and resolved their differences,” Wilson said on his podcast ‘The Bigger Picture’, published on Friday, November 1. Surname.
“What a time to be alive!” his co-host crooned, a play on the pair’s collaborative mixtape title from September 20, 2015, with eight of the 11 songs produced or co-produced by Metro Boomin. .
Wilson also added that Young Thug, who was released from prison after accepting a plea deal in the longest criminal trial in Georgia history on Thursday, October 31, posted on Twitter (now X ) helped encourage their reconciliation.
Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, wrote, “@Drake @1future @MetroBoomin we’re all assholes. Music wouldn’t be the same without our collaboration.” The 33-year-old wrote the call to action on October 18, before being released from prison.
“I think it helped the energy when Future reposted it,” Wilson said.
Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, addressed the tension between him and Future in “Family Matters,” a track released in May 2024.
He raps: “Pluto doesn’t give me a stomach ache, we never really went through that/ Leland Wayne, he’s lame, so I know he must be an influence.” ,” hinting that there was no real conflict between the two from the beginning. Leland Wayne is Metro Boomin’s real name.
Despite reports that have now mended fences between the 38-year-old and Future, Wilson, founder and CEO of Rap Radar, still has details about the relationship between Drake and Boomin.
“Subway not included,” Wilson said in the podcast.
“There is no longer any trust with Metro, but I believe Drake and Future are back on the same page,” he added. “Obviously we know that Drake and Future have a lot of history. Drake was the one who said, ‘We never really went through that.’ “
“What the reveal will be like,” Wilson began, referring to how the rappers are preparing and how they will now move forward, “I don’t know…but maybe with music, I I think, over time, we’ll understand.” a Drake and party [Next Door] album? Will Drake release a single with Future? […] You never know.”
